Covertekst
This is the story of Luca Torelli, a poor immigrant from Italy who came to New York to find better life. Instead of a land of milk and honey he found a filthy city that was long on corruption and short on morality, a place filled with predators and human vermin. To survive in such a cruel world, young Luca adapted to his surroundings, lived off his wits, and prospered through coldhearted cunning... until he eventually became TORPEDO.
Enrique Sánchez Abuli and Jordi Bennet's masterpiece is a darkly humorous exploration of the criminal underbelly in 1930s New York City. Abuli's distinctive narrative build the story over time and Bernet's masterful renditions of the title character and the city he inhabits are stunnungly cinematic.
This volume also contains the first two Torpedo stories, illustrated by Alex Toth, as a new translation by Jimmy Palmiotti.
